Transformative DBT-A Therapy for Teens & Families
Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A) is designed to meet the unique emotional and behavioral needs of teens aged 13-18. Adolescence is a time of intense emotional upheaval, and many teens struggle with emotional dysregulation, impulsive behavior, and difficulties with relationships. DBT-A helps teens who are dealing with these issues, providing them with evidence-based tools to manage emotions, make better decisions, and build healthy relationships. Weekly individual therapy helps teens explore their emotional patterns, while multi-family DBT skills groups offer an opportunity for parents and teens to learn and practice together in a supportive group setting.
Our DBT-A program also includes phone coaching for real-time assistance in managing difficult situations, ensuring that teens can receive guidance when it’s needed most. DBT-A is particularly effective for teens experiencing conditions such as borderline personality traits, anxiety, depression, self-harm, or impulsivity. With the added support of a therapist consultation team, our DBT-A approach ensures that adolescents and their families receive comprehensive care aimed at building emotional resilience and improving family dynamics.

Families participate in DBT skills groups together in order to learn and practice techniques alongside other families. This collaborative approach promotes open communication and strengthens family relationships.
